GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) - Ready to rock out in the park? So is the Gridley Quota Club, which is supplying everything needed for a fun event.

Gridley Quota is hosting a rock and shell painting session on Saturday, April 11 from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at Quota Park in Gridley, located on Washington and Hazel streets.

“We invite everyone with children or grandchildren to drop in to the park for a fun opportunity, which includes complimentary snacks and drinks,” said Quotarian Peggy Harshbarger.

Those interested in attending are encouraged to wear old shirts or bring aprons to protect themselves from paint splatters.

“Feel free to bring your own clean rock or we will supply them,” said Harshbarger. She added that Quota will also supply paint, painting materials and rocks for painting if guests do not bring their own.

Harshbarger helps chair the event for Quota and said parents are grateful for a low-key local activity with no added pressure from vendors.

“It seemed like a creative activity to bring to the community,” said Harshbarger. “This is our third year doing so,” she said, hopeful that this year’s event will be well attended.
